Chapter 62: The coffin
"I went to the neighboring village this afternoon. It was Brother Peng who told me that the Wang family found the silver needles you had injected into Wang Laowu. They think you failed to save Laowu and that it was you who caused his death."
Ruan Sanlang's words reminded Wen Qingcheng that given the Wang family's nature, they would definitely put the blame on the Wen family, so they had to make plans early.
Their family was separated and separated, isolated and helpless. The only relatives they could find were their third uncle's family and the head of the village.
After seeing Ruan Sanlang off, Wen Qingcheng and Ye Xiuying took some gifts and went to the home of the village head Xu Feng to discuss countermeasures.
As soon as Wen Qingcheng and her daughter left, Chuyi coaxed Zicheng to sleep, then went to Wen Qingcheng's room, sat in front of a low desk, picked up a pen and ink, and began to write on paper.
After the ink dried, he put the letter into a bamboo tube. Chuyi took the letter, quietly closed the gate, and walked briskly along the country road. His figure disappeared into the night like a ghost.
After speeding all the way, they arrived at the Yulong Pawnshop in the county town. The door of the pawnshop was closed at this time, and Chuyi knocked on the door. After a long time, the door slowly opened, and a clerk leaned out, with a flash of impatience in his eyes, and looked Chuyi up and down.
Seeing that Chuyi was wearing a narrow-sleeved robe and had no accessories on his body, but had an upright posture and extraordinary demeanor, he was obviously not an ordinary person, so the waiter did not dare to neglect him.
"Your Excellency is..."
"Here is a letter. Please pass it to your Second Master Zuo."
The clerk took the letter and when he heard that it was from his master, Zuo Erye, he hurriedly asked, "What is your name?"
"Mo Jinghong. Master Zuo is my friend."
After Chuyi finished speaking, he stuffed a silver ingot into the clerk's hand and asked him to deliver it as soon as possible. After giving the instructions, he turned around and blended into the night.
The waiter silently recited the name and thought: His surname is Mo? Could he be from Beijing? How could someone from Beijing appear in their small county?
The clerk held the silver in his hand and knew that this was a letter to Master Zuo Er, so he did not dare to neglect it and immediately asked someone to deliver the letter to the provincial capital.
After sending the letter, Chuyi returned home quietly. Ye Xiuying and her daughter had just returned from the village head's house.
Ye Xiuying was still worried, but Wen Qingcheng didn't care. "Mom, go to bed early. It's late. Didn't the village head say he would help mediate?"
Chuyi was lying on the bed in the room, listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, and couldn't help laughing. The mother and daughter probably didn't know that as long as he sent the letter, they wouldn't have to worry.
The Zuo family has been on good terms with Chuyi's maternal family for generations. Their businesses are spread across Da Qi, and they run tea houses, pawnshops, and gambling houses... Although Second Master Zuo is a businessman, he is a man who is involved in both black and white affairs. Even the prefects of various prefectures will give him face. With his care, the Wen family will be safe.
In the early morning, the sun shines through the mist, casting golden rays of light. The air is filled with a fresh scent, accompanied by the melodious singing of birds.
Wen Qingcheng's family had just finished their meal when they heard a noise outside the door, breaking the tranquility and beauty of the early morning, followed by the sound of several women crying and shouting.
Outside the Wen family's door, Wang Laowu's family had white cloth wrapped around their heads and white edges on their shoes. A pitch-black coffin was placed across the door of the Wen family's door. The villagers who had gathered in several circles to watch the fun instantly became excited and started whispering to each other.
"The Ye family is so unlucky. Recently, there have been this or that problem at home." Several women gathered together and whispered.
"I heard that the man died in the Wen family's new house."
"No, he was carried back dead, but he was already dead when he was here."
"You can't blame the Wen family for this. That man is the one who made trouble before, the bachelor from the neighboring village."
"Now, the Wen family is in big trouble."
Aunt Ruan was there too, and couldn't help but say, "This was a man named Wang who went to the Wen family, ate a meal, and then deliberately rolled off the roof, torturing himself to death. The Wen family's daughter used silver needles to keep him alive, so she was able to go home and see her family for the last time."
Aunt Ruan looked into the distance. Her youngest son had already gone to find the village head. She just hoped that Wen Qingcheng and the others would not come out at this time.
Old lady Wang lay on the coffin and cried loudly, and half of the village could hear her voice.
"My cruel son, you left me and how can I live? I will follow you now."
As he said this, he banged his head against the coffin, and everyone around him tried to persuade him to stop.
"Old sister-in-law, think positively. The dead cannot be resurrected."
Wang Laowu's wife screamed in a shrill voice: "Wen Qingcheng! Get out now!"
The head of the Wang family shouted angrily: "My brother died unjustly. This is where he was killed. How could the Wen family be so unlucky to cause my brother to lose his life?"
When Wang Laowu's wife heard this, she howled even louder: "Laowu, you will never rest in peace..."
"What are you howling for!"
A very majestic voice interrupted the wailing of Wang Laowu's wife, and everyone consciously made way.
The howling of the Wang family came to an abrupt end. Following the direction of the sound, they saw a middle-aged black-faced man coming with a few people. It was Xu Feng from Yueya Village.
When Xu Feng was young, he was a man who was involved in both black and white affairs. Many people in the surrounding area knew him and his words were very authoritative. But at this time, Old Lady Wang didn't care about that and kept crying in grief.
"Alright, what are you doing? Carry him away immediately and don't come to Yueya Village to cause this!" Xu Lizheng said with a stern face.
"Xu Lizheng, don't get involved in this matter today. This is a matter of life and death. The Wen family must give an explanation today."
"I'm the head of the village, why shouldn't I care? I've already sent someone to report it to the police."
Wang Lao Er suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "We were going to report this to the police. The Wen family must return my brother's life!"
Ye Xiuying was sitting in the house, feeling very uncomfortable, her teeth seemed to be broken. These people were really in a hurry to come so quickly. His bachelor fell down and died, and he wanted the Wen family to be responsible for his death.
Wen Qingcheng drank tea calmly, looking at Ye Xiuying walking around, "Mom, sit down for a while, they don't dare to break in."
"I know they don't dare to break in, but leaving the coffin across our door is not a good idea. In such a hot day, the body will rot and stink soon."
Ye Xiuying sighed and continued, "Look at the Wang family. They didn't quickly bury Wang Laowu. Instead, they made things so turbulent that no one can rest in peace."
"Mom, what we need to do now is to stay at home. They are very emotional right now. If we go out, not only will we not be able to solve the problem, but it will also lead to a bigger conflict. I just heard that the head of the village is here, and I guess the runners from the county government will be here soon."
Ye Xiuying sighed, sat on the chair, and looked out the door from time to time. There was no water in the cup, but she was still bringing it to her mouth. Her hands were trembling slightly, and she looked absent-minded.
Someone outside shouted, "The police are here."
